About me

Hello! My name is Arthur Haonan Chen (陳皓楠). I’m a master’s student at the R2L Lab of the University of Waterloo, advised by Victor Zhong. I am a graduate student researcher at the Vector Institute.

I’m sitting at the intersection of Machine Learning (ML) and Natural Language Processing (NLP).

My primary interest is using natural languages to help ML systems better generalize onto new domains (i.e., distributions) and do new tasks after deployment. I’m particularly interested in:

• Language Grounding
• Test-time Adaptation
• Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG)

I’ve also had the privilege to work with John Zelek, Jimmy Lin, and Wenhu Chen
